  • Litter Strategy for Gloucester City
    LITTER STRATEGY FOR GLOUCESTER CITY CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Role and Implication for the Authority 3.0 Education and Awareness 4.0 Enforcement 5.0 Infrastructure 6.0 Future Plans and Conclusion 1.0 Introduction In April 2017 the Government published its litter strategy as part of a wider environmental pledge to “make ours the first generation to leave the natural environment of England in a better state than we found it”. Nationally it is estimated that street cleansing costs local government almost £1 billion a year. For Gloucester City this figure is in the region of £1.4 million per annum. It is not only the cost which is an issue, litter is unsightly, reduces quality of life, discourages investment and visitors to our city as well as being detrimental to the wider environment as plastic especially, becomes part of the ecosystem, damaging species and ultimately the human population. This strategy aims to tie in with the wider Government strategy and Gloucester City Council’s vision for 2025 which is that the Council, our partners and our residents work together to make Gloucester a City that works for everyone. The strategy provides a broad framework for managing litter in our City in the coming years and is underpinned in the Council plan priorities which states that we will work to create a vibrant and prosperous city, maintain a safe and attractive city, build strong and resilient communities and provide great services that are value for money. 2.0 Role and Implication for the Authority The Government are currently consulting on new legislation regarding the packaging of goods.

  • Meeting the Future: Evaluating the Potential of Waste Processing Technologies to Contribute to the Solid Waste Authority's
    Meeting the Future: Evaluating the Potential of Waste Processing Technologies to Contribute to the Solid Waste Authority’s System (A White Paper) Prepared for: Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Florida Prepared by: Gershman, Brickner & Bratton, Inc. 8550 Arlington Blvd, Suite 304 Fairfax, VA 22031 1-800-573-5801 Subconsultant to: RCT ENGINEERING, INC. September 2, 2009 Executive Summary Florida began regulating garbage and solid waste as early as 1946 when municipalities were tasked with providing for an “adequate, efficient, and sanitary system of collecting, transporting, and disposing of garbage and rubbish from all buildings and establishments creating garbage or rubbish throughout the municipality.” In 1975, Palm Beach County created their Solid Waste Authority to coordinate the management of solid waste throughout the County. The Palm Beach County Solid Waste Act, as amended, establishes the Solid Waste Authority as the countywide authority for the management of solid waste within Palm Beach County. The SWA operates a system of facilities that combines recycling, composting, converting waste to energy through incineration, and landfilling. In 1976, the “State Resource Recovery and Management Program” was enacted, requiring certain counties and municipalities to adopt and submit for approval a local Resource Recovery and Management Program by July 1, 1979. Guidelines for the Program were enhanced in May 1979, dictating that “local agencies that undertake construction and operation of a material or energy resource recovery facility should guarantee delivery of solid wastes generated within their jurisdiction to insure uninterrupted facility operation.” In 1988, Florida passed the Solid Waste Management Act (SWMA), outlining a framework for state and local actions, including a 30 percent goal for recycling of county waste by the end of 1994.
